Angela Franks is the author of Margaret Sanger's Eugenic Legacy: The Control of Female Fertility. "[In it], Angela Franks argues that Sanger did more than any other person to expand the reach of eugenics, an ideology that has done irreparable damage to countless women, minorities, persons with disabilities, and the poor. The book is a feminist indictment of a major component of the culture of death, definitively demonstrating why Planned Parenthood is the enemy of women and children around the world.*"
